Last week, I received a strong signal that we are on the right track with project-based learning. My kids transformed the living room into an Egyptian tomb, using their imaginations and materials at hand, and then spent a goodly amount of time using it as a set and spark for dramatic play. I'm used to finding elaborate set-ups in the common areas of the house (such as this). And this isn't the first time the kids have incorporated what they're learning into such a set-up.
For a long time, my middle child was fascinated with Mt. Everest, and to some extent, he still is. (I don't think a strong interest like that will ever really go away.) The Top of the World became his guidebook as he planned his own trip to climb Mt. Everest. He would gather his tools, making them (with preschool-sized Legos; he was that young) if necessary. He'd pack the tools in a bag, explaining to me each tool and its purpose, and he'd set up base camp in the middle of the living room, making sure to visit the monkey temple first. In thinking about this post, I realized that this interest in Mt. Everest could be considered a project, and I could have done more to extend and deepen it. But instead of beating myself up over that, I'm choosing to acknowledge the things I instinctively did right: I didn't take it over. I didn't seize upon this interest to impose an adult-led "teaching moment." I didn't search the Internets over to find a child-size play set of mountain climbing tools–which would have taken away all of his joy in searching the house for equivalents and building them when necessary out of what was at hand. It's important, as we try to embrace a new way of thinking and learning, to acknowledge what we are doing and have done right.
So, back to the Egyptian tomb. My daughter is a mummy here.
They've created a tomb wall, and the play silks and blankets represent the different wrappings and coffins. All this was explained to me. The box in the back with a handle, which is the kids' treasure chest, is representing (obviously!) treasure. Later they added toys and books to use in the afterlife, just as the ancient Egyptians buried themselves with items to use in their afterlife.
The stuffed cat to the left in the photo is representing a cat mummy. (Cat Mummies is one of our library finds, and we'd just read it.) They told me they tried to cover our real cat with a play silk to represent a mummy, but he didn't cooperate. (Which is strange, because all he does is sleep anyway.) Eventually, my daughter reported that her ka had found her again–her ka, she told me, recognized her by the clothes she was wearing–and she was able to play with her afterlife books and toys.
I can't think of a more powerful expression of deep understanding–as well as the desire to deeply understand–than incorporating learning into play such as this. Creating a world and then acting within it, distilling what has been learned and processing it through play–it is amazing to witness, and powerful for me, too, to recognize it for what it was: serious play, child-led, and an authentic demonstration of deep interest and learning.

UN Zero Hunger Challenge offers ray of hope in fight against hunger
International agency Oxfam today welcomed the announcement by the UN Secretary General to create a global Zero Hunger Challenge to eliminate hunger and ensure that everyone everywhere has enough to eat while living within the earth's limits.
The challenge echoes the successful 'Hunger Zero' strategy of the Brazilian hosts which has cut child malnutrition and lifted millions out of poverty.
"Ban Ki Moon's announcement is a welcome ray of hope in a summit that has been shamefully devoid of progress for the almost billion people who go to bed hungry every night. Despite the fact that the world produces enough food to feed everyone, there are more hungry people today than when the world last met in Rio in 1992," said Barbara Stocking, Chief Executive of Oxfam GB.
"Brazil has proved what can be achieved when a government has the vision and the commitment to make fighting hunger a priority. Hunger Zero has transformed the lives of millions, slashing child malnutrition by almost two thirds and helping to lift an incredible 28 million people out of poverty.
"The involvement of small holder farmers especially women is critical to its success as they offer the greatest potential for feeding our growing population.
"This is the first big idea on food to come out of the Rio+20 debacle. We welcome the ambition of the Zero Hunger Challenge and the call for it to be met with women at the center. But it is in total contrast to the lack of any action in the Summit conclusions which simply reiterate the status quo. Even modest proposals to help small farmers were stripped out of the final document. Rio+20 has failed to recognize that we cannot have sustainable development unless we end hunger."
Oxfam is calling on world leaders to put transforming the food system at the top of the agenda – just as they have done with economic growth and the financial crisis.
Notes to editors
1. The Zero Hunger Challenge announced at the Rio+20 summit (pdf) aims to ensure food for all, eliminate the stunting of children under two, create sustainable food systems, double small holder productivity and income, reduce waste and ensure responsible consumption. For more information Zero Hunger Challenge
2. Brazil's Hunger Zero or 'Frome Zero' began in 2003. It consisted of 49 interlinked initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and hunger including through the 'Bolsa Familia' cash support to poor families, targeted free meals and support for small-holder and family farms.
3. Read Oxfam's review of the Brazil approach to tackling poverty and hunger.
4. Reuters' footage and Oxfam images available highlighting the impact of one aspect of Brazil's Hunger Zero policies which makes it mandatory for public schools to purchase at least 30% of their school meals for over 45 million students from small farmers. http://wordsandpictures.oxfam.org.uk/?c=11384&k=6c7889fa4a

About Peter
I teach all styles and all ages but my specialty is in electric rock music and applied music theory as in guitar soloing and improvisation as well as song crafting. I can teach a student any song requested by looking it up on you tube if you don't have it and immediately transcribe it for you! I also have an extensive library of songs already charted and copied to hand out.
Also, since all teachers are not equal, what separates me from others who give lessons is that I have done extensive training in Teaching and Study Skills. My lessons are very understandable and properly arranged to learn in an organized fashion. So my students progress very well, really learn music and enjoy the lessons

I started writing songs at age 7. I recorded my first song at age 16. I use theory and chord progressions with my instrumental students to help develop their own style sometimes by only adding suggestions. I teach a rock camp in the summertime where kids age 7-15 come out and learn to write original music and perform it on stage in only a week.
About Jason

His goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician.
This year Jason was also the Music Director at the National Guitar Workshop Day Jams Rock Music Day Camp where students ages 7-15 came out to form bands, record original material and master their craft. He also taught beginning to advanced guitar/ vocals/ performance and songwri
Jason has host student showcases/charity benefits where his students were able to get on stage and show off their new talent and perform with other musicians. It wasn't mandatory though, if you were just looking to come out and support there was no pressure other than to come out and have fun.
Jason has been transcribing for guitar and bass since the age of 18 and since then has become a master of the craft including both 5 line staff and tablature, hand-crafted exercises and deconstructions to better enhance the students learning.

Jason attended the University of Alaska, Anchorage where his degree is in Music and Business. He is constantly continuing his education with music theory courses as well as private guitar instruction. He attends guitar workshops and seminars by artists such as John5 and Kerry King who are known as some of the worlds finest guitar players. He reviews every day from a wide range of over 1000 sources working to become a better musician and instructor.

Jason teaches all experience levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced as well as artists that are signed to labels.
Local news outlet Fox 5 did a segment with one of his students who overcame issues with ADD and depression as a result of taking guitar lessons.

About Cameron
Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs and solos! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you're playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!
I h
I obtained my degree from Purchase College in New York and am a member of their Conservatory of Music.
*** Lesson Details ***
I construct lessons for each individual student depending on their musical tastes, goals, and current skill level etc. I want each person to get as much from their time studying with me as possible. Within three to six months, I'll have you working on timing, theory, ear training, improv, and songs/styles of music you may be interested in. I'm laid back, however, I expect at least the minimum practice time between lessons, which I'll change throughout the course of our time together depending on your skill level etc. Practice materials I draw up are included. I write out everything in plain English and do not require the use of sheet music!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Small recording studio, piano, various guitars, bass, and amps.
*** Travel Equipment ***
guitar, bass, laptop, digital recorder.
*** Specialties ***
I concentrate on ear training, improvisation, and explore styles ranging from pop, alternative, rock, prog, and blues, to metal, funk, and folk etc. I do not require sight reading skills for any level of student. Rather, I work with the student with theory and arrangement conventions to really understand the music. This intern, greatly sharpens their musical ear and helps them to learn music much faster because they understand how it is put together; why and how it works, etc.
***Teaching Special Needs***
I have experience teaching students who have been visually impaired,
blind, hearing impaired, or who have had mild learning disabilities. I
am also comfortable with a student bringing their service dog or
therapy dog to our lessons if they wish.

Cameron is great at tailoring the lessons to my musical taste without compromising the theory, basics and fundamentals.
I have been taking lessons for one year and will not go elsewhere anytime soon. His vast musical knowledge helps merge the theory with concrete examples. No question remains unanswered.

I can teach all levels and many styles. I make it easy for you to learn at your own pace so you can achieve your goals and have fun playing music.
About Thomas
Tom began teaching in 1994 and still practices today instructing students of all ages on guitar and bass techniques, as well as music theory.
Tom is very laid back and embraces working at the pace that each of his students feels most comfortable. Lessons are about the student's ambitions. If it is learning their favorite songs or a deep dive into music theory, jazz improvisation or songwriting it can be covered in strides that seem fit to the student. Books can be used for guidance and a custom lesson plan created that will fit specific criteria desired to be achieved by the student. Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you put in, the more you will get out of it!!

I was very reluctant to take lessons at first, but my wife got me started with Tim and it was really worth it. He was accommodating to my relatively slow speed of learning and easily adapted to my own musical preferences and interests.
His studio is a great space and is located within a really cool, historic building. The sound is fantastic and it's a comfortable space to practice in.
I highly recommend Tim for lessons - especially for adults who may not be able to dedicate hours a day to practicing. I took lessons weekly for three months and I got a great foundation for practicing. Once my life settles down a little, I definitely hope to go back.

As a teenager, I discovered the gift of songwriting and teach my students how to put their thoughts and feelings into a song. The joy of creating a song from beginning to end is an experience that is priceless. Learn how to come up with catchy concepts that are marketable. Also, learn how to properly copyright your lyrics! Songwriting is about telling a story thorough your perspective as well as others. For my all you need is a notebok to write down lyrics. Let's begin your songwriting adventure!

Students learn the craft of songwriting and learn about basic music theory, sight reading, guitar, technique, song form, and performance. Learn about chords, rhythm, melodies and basic songwriting skills. Students explore a variety of different styles of music
About David
I create all of the guitar lessons to meet each students individual needs that include lessons on theory, technique, rhythm, chords, scales, riffs, arpeggio's, songs, and exercises etc. I break down songs into easy digestible parts so students can learn a song in a logical and most manageable way. I use a color coded method to teach that I created that help students not only learn and understand scales and chords but also they are able to see visually how scales and chords are created. I currently teach private guitar lessons and have worked for 12 years in our local schools as a teacher with students K through 12. For 2 years, from 2012 to 2014 I taught an after-school enrichment guitar and songwriting class. I created the curriculum and music workbook specifically for 6 and 7-year old children whom I taught at Pequenakonck Elementary School in North Salem, NY. In College I won an award for the most Improved Studio Composition Student at Purchase College. I incorporate lessons that I have learned in the classroom as a teacher to help my guitar students learn. I feel the most important thing for my students to learn about music is to have a lot of fun.

Our latest upgrade: ASP.NET 4.0 & SiteStudio
September 21st, 2011 by IX: Hans-Peter M.
Hello everyone!
We've received a lot of feedback from our customers regarding some of the aging features of our hosting plans, most commonly related to SiteStudio and ASP.NET. We're excited to announce two server upgrades that will address much of this feedback, resulting in a better experience for everyone taking advantage of these features.
SiteStudio Patched
As several of you know, our website creator, SiteStudio, has looked a bit rusty lately, with known compatibility issues with newer versions of popular browsers. Recently, our IT team released a patch to update SiteStudio's compatibility with the newest versions of common browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc). Before this patch, the 'Rich Text Editor' function didn't work as you'd expect, and some users had trouble creating tables, even when other aspects of the Editor were working. With the new patch, these problems are now fixed, and the Editor should be completely usable again for all of our customers. Thank you to everyone for your patience while we worked to resolve this frustrating issue.
ASP.NET 4.0 for CP8 and CP10 Windows Customers
Customers using our CP8 and CP10 control panels can now take advantage of ASP.NET 4.0. This is an upgrade from the previous version of 3.5 and will provide an up-to-date work environment for customers using our Windows platforms. ASP.NET 4 provides customers with the ability to use parallel extensions, new Visual Basic and C# language features, and code contract support. More information about the new features in ASP.NET 4.0 can be found here:
To find out the Control Panel on which your account is located, simply log into your account, click on the "Manage" button next to your hosting plan, and look for "cp#" in the URL in the address bar; "#" will a number between 2 and 12 (if you don't have a number, you're on cp1). If you're not on CP8 or CP10 and want to give ASP.NET 4.0 a try, contact our support team, and they'll be happy to walk you through the process of migrating to a newer Control Panel.
We hope all of our Windows customers on CP8 and CP10 enjoy this new feature!
Have a great week everyone!

Farmers Bank
The Farmers Bank was incorporated in 1812 and opened its Petersburg branch in 1817. The three-story Federal structure became a frequent gathering place for the Petersburg Community. The first floor of the building held the banking are with the original vault. Clerks cashed checks and made exchanges from the other side of the long counter.
In the early nineteenth century, the executive officer of the bank and his family lived on the upper floors of the bank. The rooms were well-appointed with intricately decorated mantels and doorways. A family kitchen has been reconstructed on its original site.
The bank continued to operate through the Civil War. In 1866 the General Assembly passed an act that affected all state banks and forced the Farmers Bank to liquidate its assets. The Bank became a private residence and passed through many hands before being conveyed to Preservation Virginia in 1960. Today it is one of the few bank museums in the United States and is operated by the Friends of the Historic Farmers Bank.

Until last weekend, Europe seemed headed for a quiet Christmas and New Year's. Then Italy's Prime Minister Mario Monti unexpectedly announced he would resign, pulling the plug on a government that had boosted confidence in the country's ability to manage its debts.
The prospect of a return to a shaky government and shakier finances has suddenly put new strains on the leaders of the 17-strong group of European Union countries that use the euro and their efforts to bottle up the region's debt and economic crisis.
Analysts warn that after several months of calm, the eurozone could now be in for a rougher ride as 2013 begins.
The concern is that Italy's problems will spread and further unsettle other parts of the eurozone. Greece faces scepticism that it can keep paying its debts despite €240 billion in bailouts and Spain is still weighing whether to ask for a rescue from the eurozone's bailout fund.
Since it took office in November 2011 - after markets lost confidence in Premier Silvio Berlusconi's half-hearted attempts at reform - Monti's 13-month old government has managed to lower Italy's borrowing costs in the bond markets. His unelected cabinet of experts had until elections scheduled for April to implement reforms. Monti resigned earlier than expected after Berlusconi's party withdrew support for his government on Thursday.
Italy's borrowing costs started to rise again Monday morning as investors worried over who would keep the country on the path to recovery. The interest rate on Italy's 10-year bonds, a key indicator of the debt crisis, jumped to 4.84 percent Monday. Last week they yielded only 4.4 percent - down from over 7 percent at the start of 2012. At one point during the day, Italian stocks slumped more than 3 percent.
The worry from Sunday's announcement is that heavily indebted Italy, the eurozone's third-largest economy after Germany and France, will now slow down or halt efforts to shake up its economy. The country's debt stands at 126 percent of its annual gross domestic product of €1.6 trillion (US$2.1 trillion).
After passing a 2013 budget, parliament will likely pass little in the way of new measures for several months. And Italy could come out of new elections - expected in February - with no party clearly in control. Meanwhile, the election campaign could see Berlusconi shake market confidence by campaigning on an anti-cuts platform.
"The uncertainty is significant, not just how the election will pan out, but how the government will turn out and what the debate is going to be like," said analyst Raoul Ruparel at the Open Europe think tank in London.
"And that's not something markets like. You add in the Greek uncertainty and Spanish uncertainty on top of that... and that's a worrying confluence of factors for a pretty fragile eurozone at the moment. "
Europe's crisis over too much debt was calmed after European Central Bank head Mario Draghi said in July that the bank would "do what it takes" to rescue the euro. He then followed up with a plan in September to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds issued by indebted countries, if they agree to reduce their deficits. The bond purchases would have to be preceded by a formal request for financial help from the European Stability Mechanism, the eurozone's bailout fund.
The purchases could push bond prices up and interest rates down, since prices and rates move in opposite directions. Just the possibility that the ECB might intervene had already sent borrowing costs down for Spain and Italy. Bond markets became much less threatening, even as Draghi and outside economists warned the bank could only buy time for countries to fix their deficits and reduce debt.
Monti's resignation raises the chance, analysts say, that the ECB will have to actually deploy its bond-purchase weapon. However, without a stable government that can credibly agree to the terms of a bailout, Italy can't get help from the ECB bond purchase plan. And the ECB plan is so far the main firewall holding the crisis at bay.
Holger Schmieding at Berenberg Bank said that the Italian election was one of those events "that could possibly spark some temporary market turmoil and trigger a Spanish (and perhaps even an Italian) request for ESM support and hence possible ECB bond purchases."
However, there are other analysts that predict the early Italian elections would not trigger severe market shocks.
First, markets knew Monti would be leaving soon anyway, with elections already scheduled in April. And if debt costs continue their rise, that could be the spur Italian politicians to move forward with pro-growth steps such as reducing legal protections against layoff for established workers. The practice deters hiring and raises youth unemployment. Monti made some changes, but was unable to push through wholesale reform in the face of union resistance.
Open Europe's Ruparel said that "not enough has been done" and that this kind of reform - aimed at promoting improving the business climate and growth - was in fact more crucial than reducing Italy's deficit.
Raj Badiani at IHS Global Insight said high bond market interest costs could "force the Italian political classes to refocus on the actions needed to push away intensifying" government debt pressures.
That's what happened in late 2011, when rising bond yields intensified fears Italy might default. Pressure from that helped force Berlusconi to resign - and make way for Monti.
Markets are starting to ask if the next Italian government will face a similar crisis in 2013.

I Think I Blacked Out
Missed posting Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was work and then prepping for my party, and Sunday was prepping then hosting my party.
October has gone by fast, but I think I traveled the speed of light yesterday to arrive here, Monday afternoon.
I've spent the morning dismantling part of the party decor (Monkey Boo couldn't find her way in and out of the curtained red room very well), and the afternoon was dedicated to snuggling on the couch with the pup.
I'm exhausted.
Everyone seemed to have a nice time. No huge recipe fiascoes. Decorations came together as expected. Overall, it was a successful gathering.
There are pictures to share. And I will share them. I promise.
But tomorrow.
The rest of the day is earmarked for putting away dishes, more snuggling with the dog, eating leftover fancy doughnuts from last night, and watching Halloween television or movies.
With the weather being what it is, I'm grateful I'm not one of the countless yard haunters who are weeping into their spiced pumpkin lattes with these storm systems slowly moving through. I know a lot of folks decided to cancel their display completely, while others have scaled back. I feel for them.
The good thing about decorating indoors is when a storm hits, the only thing I worry about is whether or not I have wood for the fireplace. And milk for my coffee.
Stay dry, folks!
Hope you had a great time! I
Hope you had a great time! I wonder each year for my haunt and party why I put myself under so much stress lol.
I like your disaster abode.
I like your disaster abode. Just the ticket. Glad to hear most folks got through it all okay.

Home stereo speakers buying guide
Find the right pair for your ears and your space
If your stereo system doesn't sound as good as it used to, it may be time to replace the speakers.
Is the bass weak? Pull off the grilles to see if the foam surrounds have disintegrated. Dull highs? Maybe the tweeters are blown.
Even if there's nothing wrong with your speakers, odds are that a new pair will sound (and look) way better. Speaker technology has improved a great deal over the years.
Maybe you're starting from scratch, rather than replacing an old pair of speakers. Either way, this article will help you make a good choice.
Speaker types
Floor-standing speakers give you excellent performance. They reproduce a wide range of frequencies, including deep bass, and are usually more efficient than other types of speakers. They're the largest type of speaker for stereo music setups and, as such, cost the most. But they're hard to beat for big, room-filling sound. [Shop for floor-standing speakers.]
Bookshelf speakers can give you great sound without taking up much floor space.
Bookshelf speakers deliver great performance and come in a wide variety of sizes, with most being small enough to fit on a cabinet or shelf. They're best for small- to medium-sized rooms or for music-only listening systems in a den or bedroom. Just be aware that bookshelf speakers generally can't produce the low bass frequencies that floor-standing models can, so many folks choose to add a powered subwoofer to reinforce the deep bass. [Shop for bookshelf speakers.]
Powered computer speakers are are an option if you want better stereo music in your home office or in places like a dorm room where space is limited. [Shop for computer speakers.]
Cabinet design
The cabinet or enclosure that holds speakers in place. Cabinets can have a huge impact on the sound created by the speaker, since the amount of space and air behind the speaker helps determine the movement of the woofer(s). There are typically two types of enclosures, each with their own sonic traits:
Acoustic suspension
A type of speaker enclosure that uses a sealed box to provide tight, accurate bass response. It gives up some efficiency to provide bass that is more accurate and controlled, so compared to a bass reflex design, it may require more amplifier power to play at the same volume level.
Bass reflex
A type of speaker enclosure that includes a "tuned" port or passive radiator to increase and extend bass response (by releasing some of the energy created by the inward movement of the woofer cone). Bass reflex designs are more power-efficient than acoustic suspension designs — they'll play louder than an acoustic suspension speaker when driven with the same amplifier power. But they may sacrifice some bass accuracy in exchange for the added bass output.
Driver materials
Speaker cones can be made from a variety of materials, such as metals, papers, plastics, rubbers, or some combination of materials, each with their own sonic properties. For example, tweeters made of metal tend to have a bright, snappy sound. Tweeters made of softer materials, such as silk, tend to have a smoother sound.
In choosing materials for woofer and midrange cones, manufacturers tend to strive for a good balance between light weight (for better movement) and strength (for clearer sound without distortion).
Frequency response
The human ear responds to frequencies from approximately 20 to 20,000 cycles-per-second, or Hertz. A speaker's frequency response indicates how much of that range can be reproduced.
The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier — the amount of resistance to the flow of current. While playing music, a speaker's actual impedance constantly fluctuates; however, speakers are usually given a single nominal impedance rating for easy comparison. Low-impedance speakers (4 ohms or less) can cause problems with receivers or amplifiers that are not designed to deliver large amounts of current.
A sensitivity rating tells you how effectively a speaker converts power into volume. The higher the rating, the louder your speakers will play with a given amount of amplifier power. Sensitivity is often measured by driving a speaker with one watt and measuring the loudness in decibels at one meter.
The chart below illustrates that a few dB in sensitivity can make a big difference. A speaker with a sensitivity rating that's 3 dB higher than another speaker's only needs half as much power to deliver the same amount of sound.
|Sensitivity rating
|Power needed
to produce a given volume
|Speaker A
|85 dB
|100 watts
|Speaker B
|88 dB
|50 watts
|Speaker C
|91 dB
|25 watts
Some speakers include dual sets of wire terminals, which almost always also feature a special type of crossover with separate "high-pass" and "low-pass" sections. Speakers with dual sets of terminals work fine when used with a single set of speaker cables. In fact, they usually come from the factory set up for conventional operation, with "jumpers" installed between the two sets. These jumpers can be easily removed for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
- Bi-amping means that instead of driving a speaker full-range with a single channel of amplification through a single set of speaker cables, you actually connect two sets of cables, with each set carrying the signal from a separate amplifier (or amp channel). This way, both low-frequency drivers (woofers) and high-frequency drivers (tweeters) receive dedicated amplification.
- Bi-wiring involves connecting two sets of cables to your speakers, like bi-amping, but both sets of cables connect to the same set of output connectors on your receiver or amplifier. Bi-wiring doesn't deliver more wattage to your speakers, so it doesn't offer as dramatic a sonic improvement as bi-amping. Still, many audiophiles find that it offers subtle improvements in imaging and detail.
Terminal types
You probably don't think about the connectors on the back of your speakers until you go to hook them up. There are two basic types:
- Spring clip terminals are usually found on lower-priced speakers. They work best with bare wire connections with small-gauge speaker wire, or pin-type connectors.
- Binding post terminals are a sturdier, more versatile type of speaker jack, often found on higher-quality speakers and receivers, and on most amplifiers. They're threaded, so you can tighten them down against the wire or connector for an extra-snug connection.
A common variety of binding post, especially for speakers, is known as a "5-way" binding post. This type accepts bare wire, pin connectors, spade connectors, banana plugs, and double-banana plugs.
The quality of the cables you use can make a big difference. Cheap cables will allow the signal to degrade, especially over longer runs, causing your sound to lose detail and dynamics. Check out our article on speaker wire for help in choosing the right kind for your speakers.
It's important to consider what kind of flooring you plan to place your speakers on. A wobbly foundation can introduce unwanted vibrations into your music, not to mention you don't want your new speakers easily tipping over when you accidentally run into them with the vacuum cleaner.
If your room is carpeted, then look for floor-standing speakers or speaker stands that come with carpet spikes to improve the speakers' stability. If your floors are made of hardwood, vinyl, stone, or any other flat material, then look for padded feet to come with your speakers or stands.
Remember that your room may also have an effect on your speakers' sound. Just because a pair of speakers sounds great in the store or in your friend's home, doesn't mean they'll sound the same in your room. Glass windows, doors, coffee tables, and bare walls or flooring can all introduce unwanted effects that can color your sound. There are several simple steps you can take to get better sound, like installing curtains or putting down a rug over bare floors. And if you want to turn your room into an audiophile's haven, then there are special sound damping materials that you can install on your walls and ceiling.

The Home Front 1939-1945
A surprising number of films made by amateurs survive from this period, despite wartime restrictions, to add to the military and Government-sponsored material produced.
Notable amateur films were made by Harry Thew, Captain Wakeford and Frank Bealing of Southampton, featuring exercises by civil defence volounteers in the Swaythling district, barrage balloons, activities at the School of Navigation, and so on; Derek Sheppard of Poole, showing his family and business in Parkstone, plus a day out in Bere Regis; Bill Sheaff of Hythe, filming on behalf of his absent boss Hubert Scott-Paine, featuring the workforce (mostly women) at the British Powerboat Company, bomb damage to the factory, and the firm's Home Guard contingent; Mr A W Legg of Bournemouth, headmaster of Charminster Mixed School, who filmed his pupils and staff 'making do' during the war.
Professional films of note include Port of Achievement, made by the Southern Railway Film Unit to show how Southampton Docks survived the Blitz and contributed enormously to the war effort; the same unit filmed activities at Eastleigh Railway works, featuring women making aircraft components and landing craft as well as working on trains; and a number of unedited films by the Army and RAF Film Units, covering the build-up and embarkation of D-Day ('Operation Overlord') in the region.

Comments from customers who bought this item:
This stylish Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish WD7S is exceptional in terms of quality, featuring acoustics that are unmatched in this price range, making this Washburn Harvest Series acoustic guitar great value for money. The Rosewood fretboard is naturally oily and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pours, making the sound richer than that of a Maple fingerboard.
Steeped in the tradition of fine instrument making, Washburn guitar's dynamic 120 year history began in Chicago in 1883. From blues players who shaped rock'n'roll to guitar virtuosos, Washburn are used by a variety of guitar players and continue to be a consistent leader in combining design, innovation, and technology to deliver the rich, bold sounds guitarists expect from a Washburn electric guitar, bass guitar or acoustic guitar.

Over the past month, at least six food delivery drivers have been robbed. Some were held at gunpoint, bashed with weapons or stabbed.
While police officials are concerned about the robberies and the possibility of the violence escalating, they also say local food joints could have better policies in place to keep drivers safe.
"When you look at the robberies and how they take place, they (robbers) look at it as an easy opportunity, but what they are yielding is not a real lot of money or product worth a lot of money," Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said. "We know the drivers are carrying money and there is the potential for harm."
The chief called delivery driver robberies an act done by a lot of amateurs.
On Dec. 2, a delivery driver was confronted by five men on Chandler Street. The driver took out a baseball bat, but the men took the bat and attacked the driver. His injuries were not fatal. The men took the man's car and drove off.
Police said they do not encourage delivery drivers to arm themselves.
"We would suggest that if they are involved with these types of situations that they call police and let police investigate," Chief Gemme said. "There is always a chance to become a victim of your own weapon."
From Jan. 1 to Dec. 2 this year, there have been 28 delivery driver robberies, a 12 percent increase over the same period last year. There were 25 from Jan. 1 to Dec. 2, 2011.
Arrests have been made in some cases, while other cases remain under investigation.
Many of the robberies occur late at night or in the early morning.
"Carrying a weapon isn't going to solve anything. The best thing you can do is not carry a lot of money, and give it to them if they tell you to," said Eli Aoude, manager of Golden Pizza on Chandler Street. "There's no point in fighting back. My drivers only carry about $20 worth of change."
His drivers have been robbed five times this year, the most of any business in the city. Drivers of the Golden Pizza businesses on Lincoln Street and Grafton Street were robbed twice this year. Domino's Pizza delivery drivers have been robbed three times.
"We've been talking to (drivers) about it over the years. We've been doing this for 22 years now," Mr. Aoude said. "If you have a driver's job you deliver till 2:30-3 o'clock in the morning. You expect things to happen. We tell them: Take precaution before you take an order. When you're going out on a delivery, if you see a house that's not lit, don't go in the house. Unless they have lights outside the house or the apartments are lit, don't go in the house. Take caution. If nobody's answering the door, give them a call to verify the order. If nobody lives in the house, just walk away."
Chief Gemme said some establishments in the city haven't seen their delivery drivers robbed. He said businesses and employees need to scrutinize calls, be aware of their surroundings and educate their drivers.
Late-night deliveries are part of the fast-food restaurant business, but the chief said drivers need to be more aware at night.
While police continue to monitor the recent spate of delivery driver robberies, they are also focusing on a spike in break-ins last month.
Using crime statistics, police projected 181 break-ins citywide in November, but the actual number was 233. Police have been talking to other area departments about increases seen outside the city as well. A task force with representatives of other agencies reviews the incidents as well.
From Jan. 1 to Nov. 30 this year, there have been 2,082 break-ins in Worcester, a 1.9 percent decrease from the 2,122 during the same period last year. Break-ins were trending down this year, but the spike in November cut into the decrease.
"We really got hit hard in a number of different sections in the city," the chief said about November.
The areas around Indian Lake, Salisbury Street, Grove Street, Foster Street and a portion of West Boylston Street all were hit hard. Compared to last November, the number of residential and commercial break-ins in those areas more than doubled.
"What we've done is move more resources into those areas," Chief Gemme said. "We designated it a tactical response area and made arrests."
Police said those involved in the illegal activity are usually involved in more than one break-in. When a suspect is identified in one case police investigate to see if the person could have been involved in others.

- Baby Sheepskin Rug
- Features
- We Also Recommend
Baby Sheepskin Rugs ... a comforting, soothing place for baby to fall asleep.
Baby Sheepskin Rugs gently soothe and caress baby, just like a parent's loving arms. Made from 100% lambskin, trimmed short to a velvety finish, this soft and cuddly rug invites baby to safety snuggle and fall asleep surrounded by warmth and comfort. Wool is calming and soothing to baby which means most little ones will fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
The true beauty of a baby sheepskin rug is that the lambswool keeps your baby warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and perfectly comfortable in the spring and fall. Made from 100% medical quality sheepskin, our sheepskin baby rugs are the same as used in the neonatal intensive care nurseries throughout Australia to help soothe tiny babies when a parents loving arms cannot be close by.
Why parents love our Baby Sheepskin rugs:
- Made from 100% lambskin, wool is soft, safe and comforting for baby.
- Silky wool fibers are a delight to touch helping to calm and soothe colicky infants.
- Our baby sheepskin rugs are tanned using environmentally and user-friendly tanning agents and techniques. Each rug is produced with the health of the environment and the end user in mind.
- Free of toxic compounds commonly found in other sheepskin rugs. You won't find phosphorines, arsines and stibines in our wool due to the safer handling and tanning of each rug.
- Wool is naturally anti-bacterial, sanitary and hypoallergenic.
- Our sheepskin rugs are naturally flame resistant. They are not treated with chemicals or silicone.
- Our undyed lambskins elegant golden-yellow colour arises from the natural tanning process.
- This velvety soft lambskin rug is trimmed close for baby's comfort and safety.

- Size: Approx. 24" x 36".
- Made in Australia from 100% lambskin.
Sheepskin Shorn and Fiber
We have specifically chosen only short shorn lambskin rugs for baby. Our baby sheepskin rugs are tanned to be sanitary and clipped to comply as a medical-use skin. They appear in neonatal intensive care nurseries throughout Australia. They are much easier to care for than a longer shorn lambskin rug.
Short shorn lambskins do not have the matting problems that often occur of longer woolen, unshorn lambskins. The short fibers of our lambskin rugs are buoyant and resilient, creating a soft and cozy "cushion effect". Also, babies can not suck on the short shorn like they can on a long wool fiber. We've also been careful to source a baby sheepskin rug tanned using the most environmentally friendly and technically advanced tanning agents. This means our sheepskins for baby are being produced free of health harming chemicals that are still used in many other sheepskin rugs today. Natural coloring is also left intact so expect slight variations and a deeper yellow tone which is brought out by the tanning process.
How does a sheepskin work to keep baby cool and comfortable?
The Sheepskin surface applys soft pressure evenly under the body, minimizing friction and pressure points common with conventional bedding. The natural wool fibers allow air to circulate freely. This creates an insulating effect that provides warm comfort for baby. Unlike synthetic fiber, the natural wool fibers will return to their original position, even after being folded, or heavily weighed upon. They also do not shed, but may have a few fibers left over from trimming when new.
The Safety of our Sheepskin Rugs
We take great pride in sourcing the best products possible for parents in Canada. Rest assured, your new sheepskin rug is free of all the below mentioned chemicals:
- (1) Pesticides (PCP/TeCP) (Pentachlorophenols, Tetrachlorophenols)
- (2) Organic Tin compounds
- (3) Azo Dyestuffs
- (4) Extractable Heavy Metals (Chrome VI, Antimony, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Cobalt, Copper, Nickel, Mercury)
As well, the wool on our lambskins are bleached during processing with only hydrogen peroxide -- no chlorinated chemicals are used at any stage of the tanning process. The family business behind our sheepskin rug products have been at the forefront of making sure that no heavy metals are used in the tanning process, and they have maintained these standards diligently for over 25 years. You won't be disappointed!

(Reuters) - The office of the secretary of defense (OSD) has directed the U.S. Navy to cut its overall buy of the littoral combat ships to 32 ships, foregoing 20 more of the small, fast warships, the Navy Times reported, citing Pentagon sources.
The decision, in a January 6 memo from acting deputy secretary of defense Christine Fox, follows the final 2015 budget guidance from the White House, the newspaper reported on Wednesday. (http://r.reuters.com/haw95v)
"The defense department is not going to discuss a budget that has yet to be presented or decisions that haven't been made," Pentagon spokesman Carl Woog told Reuters.
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program, one of the Pentagon's biggest acquisition programs, includes ships built by Lockheed Martin Corp and Australia's Austal Ltd.
The 52-ship program had come under scrutiny after a spate of technical glitches.
However, supporters of the program have argued that the smaller ships, which require less personnel, offered the Navy the best way to increase the size of its fleet, which is now at historic lows.
"Secretary (Chuck) Hagel has long said he is going to have to make tough choices," said a senior defense official.
"There may yet be alternatives to cutting the LCS program that Secretary Hagel could consider."
It is believed that the OSD's initial guidance in January was to cut the program even further, the Navy Times said.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, a strident defender of the LCS program, personally argued to restore at least a portion of the future ship buy, the newspaper reported.
One Navy source said that the decision to end LCS at 32 ships isn't yet a done deal, the Navy Times reported.

Ad-ucation? Sorvinos plug Lantus in Sanofi web effort
The father-daughter acting duo, he of Goodfellas fame and she of Mighty Aphrodite, feature in the Diabetes Co-Stars campaign, talking about Paul's type 2 diabetes, diagnosed in 2006. A video-rich microsite housed alongside Lantus- and Apidra-branded content, includes a "Resources" tab featuring a pile of links where readers can "find more information about Lantus insulin, the Lantus SoloStar pen, and downloadable tools to help you monitor your blood sugar." Sorvino takes Lantus.
In one of the clips, Mira Sorvino recalls a worrying spell of high blood sugar her father suffered shortly after his diagnosis.
"So, at that point I realized that I, I needed to be a, uh, a better support to him and figure out what I could do to help him manage his blood sugars better and find out more about the disease," says Sorvino. "I did speak with a doctor, I spoke with some experts, I had a friend who has diabetes…and I did some reading on the web. So, it's sort of a combination of informed sources, to help me understand it."
"The information is there," says her father. "You talk to professionals. A lot of it's on the web all you have to do is punch that up and visit those sites and you need to learn what it is that's happened to you."
The site was executed by Euro RSCG Life 4D.

Amniocentesis (AM-nee-oh-sen-TEE-sis) — or amnio for short — is a medical test for pregnant women. It is usually performed between the 16th and 22th weeks of pregnancy to see if the baby has certain conditions, such as Down syndrome.
Amniocentesis is a genetic test. Genetic tests are used to look for certain genetic diseases, chromosome problems, and birth defects. Your doctor and/or a genetic counselor can help to determine which test or tests are right for you. This depends on factors such as your age, your family and medical history, and environmental exposures. Genetic testing cannot answer all questions about the health of your developing baby, but it can provide information to help you and your partner make informed decisions.
Each cell of your body has chromosomes that carry the blueprint for your whole body. The chromosomes carry the traits (such as eye or hair color) that you inherited from your mother and father. Normally, each cell contains 46 chromosomes. Having too much or too little chromosome material often results in health problems. To find out if a baby has a chromosome problem before birth, we test the fluid around the baby. This fluid is called amniotic (am-nee-OT-ik) fluid. The baby sheds some cells, with the baby's chromosomes in them, into this fluid. Careful testing of the fluid finds the cells and looks for problems in them.Brain and spine problems, such as open skull (anencephaly) and open spine (spina bifida), also can be found by measuring the level of AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) in the fluid.
A sample of the fluid is taken with a thin needle. The needle is guided by ultrasound (see the UPMC patient education page Ultrasound: Pelvic, Pregnancy, and Abdominal). Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce a "picture" of the baby. It appears as an image on a small TV screen (monitor). Ultrasound helps the doctor determine how many weeks the pregnancy is along. It shows if there is more than one baby. Also, it shows where the placenta is located in the uterus.
For the ultrasound, you will lie on your back on a table in an exam room. A gel will be spread on your belly. The gel helps the sound waves pass through your belly. You will probably be able to see your baby's image on the screen.
A thin needle is placed through your belly and through the wall of your uterus. The needle takes a small amount of amniotic fluid from the sac surrounding the developing baby. The ultrasound is used to show where the baby and placenta are so the needle can be placed where it won't touch the baby or placenta.
Amniocentesis, including ultrasound, takes less than 1 hour. You will not have to stay in the hospital overnight.
You should take it easy the rest of the day but may go back to your usual activity the next day. You will be told to watch for any unusual occurrence. If you have bleeding or loss of fluid through the vagina, severe cramping, or a fever, call your doctor.
The fluid will be tested in a lab. Results from the test are usually available in 10 to 14 days. Ask your doctor when you should call his or her office for your results.
As with many medical procedures, there are risks with amniocentesis. Recent studies suggest that the risk of miscarriage isapproximately 1 pregnancy loss in every 1,000 procedures performed. Before agreeing to have amniocentesis and genetic testing, you will be asked to sign a consent form that explains the risks involved.
No. It is important to remember that all couples have a 2 to 3 percent risk of having a child with a birth defect. This means that out of every 100 pregnancies, on average, 97 or 98 babies will have no birth defects, and 2 or 3 babies will have a birth defect. Many of these birth defects are not due to a chromosome disorder. So amniocentesis would not find them.
If a disorder is found, your doctor will explain your options. At UPMC, counseling and support are available to help the couple make an informed decision. Several medical options are available, including referral to experts who are familiar with the treatment and management of specific conditions.
If you have additional questions or think you may want amniocentesis, please call the UPMC Center for Medical Genetics at 412-641-4168 or 1-800-454-8155.
